Okay, NOW it's time for a fresh start. Entries will be infrequent until May 19th at 3:00p.m. (the semester will be over and I will be finished with my MCAT which I will hopefully do well on).
This diary will basically be a sequel to my first one: my opinions on first listens and revisits (with revisits being the more regular entries).
P.S. Bringing back the ratings. _________________ ...and for dessert!

Bloweyelashwish by Lovesliescrushing
Honestly, I don't think I've heard a more beautiful shoegaze album. It's like if My Bloody Valentine was a band of angels instead of humans. Yeah, it's distorted, fuzzy, somewhat messy, but it's so. freakin'. gorgeous. This album sounds like being on LSD in a glass building with many walls structured at different angles and with different indexes of refraction and brilliant, bright spectrums pour through each wall creating the most gorgeous cascade of light that showers over your body which happens to be floating in zero gravity. Take that sentence for what it is. "crushing" just illuminates my soul, "darkglassdloideyes" makes me feel like I'm hovering above the world at the same altitude as the ISS. I think a decent number of people forum regulars have listened to this album, but for the newbies who haven't, do yourself a solid and go to projektrecords's bandcamp and listen to this shoegaze masterpiece.

Oh yeah, that one is pretty af as well. The length somewhat gets me, but the final 4 or 5 tracks really deliver and make up for it. _________________ ...and for dessert!

Dopethrone by Electric Wizard
Here's an album that has been discussed enough amongst forum regulars, but recent revisits have augmented my love immensely.
Along with shoegaze, I've been pretty obsessed with ambient dub and stoner metal. The atmosphere these genres create has been satisfying this unending hunger I have been having for ethereal, lush, distorted, and druggy moods. Most of the stoner metal I've been listening to lately is more instrumental heavy, which makes it great studying music in my opinion. It don't find myself getting distracted and the energy keeps me up. I wanted to bring up Dopethrone in my diary because it's so damn perfect. It's continually regarded as one of the heaviest albums ever; the riffs are monstrous and overwhelming; the dark, sludgy guitars are orgasmic; the harsh vocals fit in so well; the hypnotic moments on this album are captivating- I can go on, but I don't think anything I'd say would be new and no description could suffice for its awesomeness. I couldn't help but tack on a perfect score for this essential metal album. Happy 4/20, bruhs.

Narkopop by Gas
Wow. Lately, I've been on a serious roll of great albums (with the only bad part being a pain in my wallet), but the streak keeps on going with the new Gas album. Thank you SuedeSwede, I honestly had no idea this guy was releasing a new project until you brought it up. The only other Gas projects I've listened to are Pop and Oktember, I still need to get to his other works, but so far I think this is my favorite project by him. It's dark, but not in the more sinister, disturbing sense. It's dark in the prettiest way possible. This project shimmers with utter brilliance. By no means is this an overwhelming albums, but it feels very emotional and surreal. He adds a nice pulsating beat to a few of the tracks and it helps keep me engaged with this nocturnal vibe I have going on inside my head. This is a VERY strong contender for my AOTY, don't be surprised if it is.

City Of Syrup by Big Moe
If you need a healthy dose of Houston hip-hop. What a fucking gem I found.
Oh. In case anyone enjoys following my life, I'm in the middle of medical schools applications. Secondaries have been submitted, so now it's the waiting game. Interviews have been happening but most MD and DO schools don't really get serious until after Labor Day. _________________ ...and for dessert!

Everything Now by Arcade Fire
Do you guys remember that one Family Guy episode where they're all trapped in that safe room while burglars are robbing the house, but the fire sprinklers turned on and they're all about to drown and Peter's almost last words were that he did not care for the Godfather because he thinks it "insists upon itself?"
No, yes? Well, I think I know what he meant after listening to this. _________________ ...and for dessert!

One of my best friends got killed in a car accident last week, and along with the LV shooting and learning the darker side of healthcare I've been fucked up. _________________ ...and for dessert!
